Sib Arthur Bass, of “Pale Ale” fame, 
enters the British peerage as “ Barou Burton 
of Rangemore ancl Burfcou-upon-Trent.” 
Sir John Rennet Lawes told Professor 
Morrow that he didn’t like to report on a cer¬ 
tain line of agricultural experiments lie was 
conducting, because he had carried them on 
for only 27 years, 
James Armstrong, of Loure, Canada, a 
well-to-do farmer, aged 88 years, fell in love 
with a maiden of 7(5 summers, who rejected 
his suit. Thereupon he made his will, be¬ 
queathing her all his property, and then 
hanged himself. 
When the present Under Secretary of the 
Treasury, Thompson, of South Carolina, was 
nomiuated for Governor, a message from one 
of the State institutions was sent him saying : 
“Every one in the lunatic asylum is delighted 
with your nomination.” 
Whenever the Emperor William under¬ 
takes to eat his dearly-loved lobster, bis doctor 
invariably shudders and protests, but the aged 
Emperor merely smiles and continues his 
meal. He cats a good deal, and is particu¬ 
larly fond of shell-fish. 
The Honorable Frank Lawler, of the Sec¬

Evarts of New York, C. C. Perkins of Boston,

carriage. Perkins was instantly killed, and 
the two others severely, though not danger¬ 
ously, injured, 
Confederate General H. P. Ransom “sui¬ 
cided" by morphine ut Lexington, Ky., 
Wednesday. Married a wealthy widow ten 
years ago, and at her earnest solicitation re¬ 
signed his post as General Manager of the 
Kentucky Central Railroad, and became de¬ 
pendent on her for a livelihood. From the 
start she made him feel his dejiendence keenly, 
and he could endure his position uo longer. 
During all the excitement caused in Eng¬ 
land last Wednesday by the state of affairs in 
Bulgaria, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Brit¬ 
ish Prime Minister, and the man who among 
the Conservatives is trusted most in foreign 
affairs, was in his laboratory at Hatfield 
House engrossed in experimenting with an 
electric invention of his own for driving agri¬ 
cultural machinery—“a favorite hobby with
